About Us

Facilitating fun, interactive team building experiences that empower individuals and groups to connect, gain skills and succeed.

Educational Endeavors is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization dedicated to helping individuals and teams reach their highest potential in school, at home, at work and within the community.

There were no obstacles for us. You were very flexible and helpful when it came to scheduling a date. You incorporated my feedback into the day’s activities.— Lizette Acosta, New Pathways for Youth

Since 1999, Educational Endeavors has facilitated activities for thousands of school-aged participants and adult professionals. The programs we design are tailored to address each group’s unique areas of interest or concern. Events occur on school campuses or at city parks, camp retreats, conference resorts or select facilities/sites equipped for outdoor activities like High-Ropes and Rock Climbing.

With our support and trust you can concur inhibitions, challenges and attitudes preventing you and your teams from succeeding.

Combine this with our decades of experience in education, business, coaching, facilitation and adventuring and you and your team can reach heights only imagined.

The price is worth the time and instruction! This isn’t a set day that you come in and they teach and then you leave. The facilitators are experienced in working with any group size so they are not only including everyone, but working with those that need additional attention.— Jen Sydow, Scottsdale Community College
